We were going to go on a road trip in September, then October…for sure October. My sister Regina was going to go with us and the boys to see the central coast and we were going to have a weekend away on our anniversary! But Peter’s professor announced the week before that midterms would be held the following week…so he needed the time to study at home. I was sorely disappointed. So was he. So to offset my disappointment he gave me my birthday gift early…two tickets to Lord of the Dance at the Civic Center in Thousand Oaks on November 15th!
I wonder if God was reminding me that He holds all of our disappointments, however small? When I was a teenager I adored Irish step dance and in particularly Riverdance. I learned the songs and wrote down the words. At the time my twin sister was dating a guy whose family was sensitive to my feelings and invited me along on their family outings with them. Except for once when they had only one extra ticket to Riverdance. Oh, how terribly I wanted to go! And now as I sit disappointed that our anniversary trip is cancelled, Peter pulls out two tickets to Lord of the Dance! How funny.
Last night I decided that I still like Riverdance better, but seeing the show with Peter was so much fun! And very memorable. 🙂 Thanks Babe!
